The other day, I acted as master of ceremonies of my ex-boss 60th birthday.

Basically, I like better to act the master, than to just drink and have a dinner at a table. so I don't feel nervous about the task.

Junior fellow(JF):"Ebata-san. Thank you for the toast master"

Ebata:"Don't disturb. I am busy"

JF:"Ebata-san, Are you really O.K. to say so?"

Ebata:"What?"

JF:"It is me to plan and manage your 60th birthday"

Ebata:"I am not going to count on you at all"

JF:"Who can care for it except of me?"

Ebata:"It's you who can not understand. You talk about "the ceremony of my 60th birthday don't you?"

JF:"?"

Ebata:"It is me that plan and manage the ceremony and to also act as a toast-master"

JF:"...."

Ebata:"For example, I will say naturally, "Now I am coming to this hall. Everyone, please welcome me in a grand applause" talking with a microphone."

JF:"...."

Ebata:"Even bouquet presentation, I could act as both the person who give the bouquet and who is give the the bouquet at the same time"

JF:"...."

Ebata:"Understood? if so, go far away soon."
